I Made Fire

Yesterday, I ignited a flame,  
In the woods where I had lost my way.  
The chill of the hike didn't cause me distress,  
A touch of rust, not worried, I must confess.  
   
Awaiting rescue from the wild I braved,  
The fire's warmth sparked thoughts, and I craved  
To glimpse prehistoric life's ancient lore,  
Imagining the first touch, what it held in store.  
   
Picture the awe of mortal mankind's first fire,  
From peril to power, a transformative desire.  
In the dance of flames, nature harnessed and tamed,  
A force benevolent, not to be blamed.  
   
Wrapped in warmth, I whispered, "I made fire,"  
A magician's delight, fulfilling my deepest desire.  
Human existence, fragile amidst nature's raw might,  
Beneath modern layers, our primal core takes flight.
